Wired fuses can overheat due to slack/loose connections, obviously I'm duty bound to recommend an upgrade to a new consumer unit with trips etc, but there is no statutory reason to change a perfectly servicable old cu. check all connections are tight and replace any holders that show signs of...

Random slip in the post/mod continuom (spelling?) :? Better watch out, I feel this post slipping into the black hole of moderation :cry:

short back & sides ? Bet the pilot was having a giggle :lol:

MK, Crabtree are normally recommended, buy cheap and you will suffer. :wink:

Oh the nanny state :evil: Life has consequences, educate people, then let them be responsible for their own actions. Did you know there was a labour mp a few years ago who wanted ALL knives banned in the home! she said you could get everything done by trained professionals and having no...

good for you notb665, There is a lot of nonsense talked about self harm and in your case she needs help, and your course of action has a lot of support, mine included. Keep communicating, that is the only real solution, there are an awful lot of reasons for self harm, I have heard of something...

actually there is nothing to stop you plastering directly onto the cables, not recommended by most experienced sparks, but nonetheless possible in law. I'd personally recommend plastic conduit, its easier to get replacement or additional cables in at a later date, but capping is fine, you can...

Sounds more like a problem with the servo assistance for the brakes, this uses engine vacuum to boost the force available at the brake pedal. There may be a valve in the system that allows air in when the engine is switched off to prevent 'overrun' and this could be sticking when cold. Ask a...

My Visa doesn't ask if I want to Switch to Maestro :cry: I had to sign a bit of paper at the petrol station today, nearly couldn't remember my name or how to sign it :lol: If you must have a Maestro at least make it a red Mg Maestro :lol:

I went all the way from cub to venture scout leader, and as I remember the promise states that you should do 'your' duty to god and to the queen, I took that to mean it was up to me what my duty was, some scope for tolerance eh? All said, the scout association is an excellent organisation and...

Why isn't marmalade called 'orange jam' ? :?

Should be posted in the plumbers section- fitting plugs, my sink could do with a new one, anyone know a good 16 yr old ethnic female plumber? :lol:

Sounds like you've tapped into the switch cable for that particular bedroom, :lol: Put it back how you found it, and find a ceiling rose for a bedroom, use the cables in there to get your loft light supply, :)

Electric boilers are more efficient because no heat is lost out of a flue, nearly all the source energy is transfered to the water, so its more efficient at putting energy into the water in your system. The main problem is the high unit cost of electricity in the first place, that and the fact...

Plenty of sparks in Bristol to ask, did my 2391 at clarkson evans, staverton near gloucester, very good, but plenty of training available in bristol area too. Are you intending to work for someone, a firm or yourself? If you work for yourself then technically you only need to be able to prove...

Part time courses are good as far as they go, 2330, 2381 + 2391 is all you need to go self employed or working for a local spark, best course of action (imho) is to work for a spark to gain experience and still earn a few quid and do part time courses for qualifications. You can qualify without...

Dont play with the fan wiring! thats an arrangement of permanent and switched lives + neutral and earth, leave well alone. As already said feed loft light from upstairs bedroom light ceiling rose, you'll find lots of red and black cores there :)

Crystals right I was in aeeu and they donated the labour sub to charity if you asked. It made everyobes subs the same, and we had the satisfaction of not supporting Mr Tony Blair.

An air gun :shock: 0.22 or 0.777? :lol: anyway however you choose to decorate......Hi :D
